Mountainsmith Pinion Hiking Backpack - 25 Liters Review

The product arrived quickly. Mountainsmith makes great products. The size can be adjusted from short torso to long torso. No problem ordering the wrong size.

This is a really good product. The fabric is durable. It has all the essential accessories including a zip for bottom access. The only difference from more expensive models is the lack of a molded and padded manure belt. I am very satisfied with the purchase and other products from the same brand.

Really good and for the price it's amazing. I bought this for my grandson and took him on his first walk as he prepares for his high school graduation.

Large backpack with a lot of packing volume. I used it for a 4 day trip out of town but couldn't find the optimal place for comfort on my shoulders. The bag weighed about 43 pounds and felt uncomfortable, and the frame kept slipping off my shoulders despite countless strap adjustments. There are only two outer pouch pockets, the rest of the packaging takes place inside the pouch volume. I wish there were more pockets on the outside

This packaging was a pleasant surprise. After some research I bought a 40L backpack and started using it for night hikes. It has enough comfortable gear so I can spot wildlife along the way and not suffer from a bad backpack. withstands rain. It hasn't rained in 7 trips with the backpack but it comes with a rain cover. Very happy with this purchase and thought about her 60L before deciding on the North Face 65L.

I think this is a great budget set. I made it to the highest point in the United States (Mount Whitney) in mid-December. I took it on a 110 mile trek in 17 days in the Gila desert. And he joined me for 6 weeks last summer when I was backpacking and rafting rivers in Texas, Arkansas and New Mexico. It is made from high quality materials and so far there have been no rips, tears, holes or similar damage to the packaging. It still looks like new! It handles heavy loads incredibly well, the largest
